ABOUT US

JCI MANILA is an organization where young men join to become better leaders. JCI MANILA believes that it is through reaching out to others that you learn more about yourself.

It auspiciously began with the curiosity of a young World War II veteran, the venerable Artemio L. Vergel de Dios, who read about the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) in the October 1946 issue of PIC Magazine and forthwith wrote the United States to inquire how a similar organization could be established in the Philippines.

That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life
That the brotherhood of men transcends the sovereignty of nations

That service to humanity is the best work of life
